<VV> Wheel Dolly Recommendation

Our Autocross club holds the monthly events in a parking lot at
Lockheed-Martin. Each month someone ignores the several day's notice posted at the
parking lot and parks their car where the course will go. The club bought a
set of four jacks - Actual Go-Jack brand - three of one jacking direction
any one of the other. We keep them in the trailer and usually end up moving a
car or two at each event. One of the castors was caught sideways and with
the help of several car pushers, was pushed sideways for quite a distance -
destroying the wheel. An internet link and a credit card brought a
replacement wheel in the mail quickly. Most importantly, if pushing the cars if
certain directions from several points on the car, it is easy for someone to
push a castor over your toes. Or, at least, over the front of your shoes.
Be careful! This won't happen in your own garage with just you pushing! I
think they are a great design and they have worked great for us. If you are
using them once a year, the knockoffs are probably fine. For regular use,
though, by the real thing, USA built, I believe.

I'd like to get recommendations for wheel dollies (skates) that have the
jacks built in the dollies . Does anyone have suggestions on which brand
to get or which to avoid? Some appear to have hydraulic jacks and others
are mechanical.
